The Communications & IT Minister Kapil Sibal asserted that hefty penalty up to Rs. 2.50 lakhs will be impsoed on telemarketteers for unsolicited telemarketing calls from 1st Febraury onwards. These calls are disturbing the subscribers and in many cases they are charged for these also. The government has been extending the date for penalty due to pressure from the telcos. The Govenment should ensure that no further extension should be given.
